I can hardly believe that summer is almost over….and that Fall is on it’s way. I love the change, the colors, the smells….
pumpkin and spice, fall leaves in all colors, new books, sharp pencils, a time of reflection and renewal.
As I was reading while on the eliptical machine at the gym a few days ago, I came across a sentence in the book that gave me hope. It was as though my spirit was taking a deep breath.
“75% of the three hundred world-class leaders in a recent study were raised in poverty, had been abused as children, or had some serious physical disability.”
wow….
This book has brought light to the lives of so many people and their stories. It makes me grateful for what I have, and even a renewed purpose for where I have been, and my past.
(quoted from Zig Ziglar’s Over the Top)
I am looking foward to thanksgiving holiday. But today and tomorrow and the day after will be a day of thanksgiving as well.
I hope you are all well.

I am always so encouraged when I stop by. Thank you my friend, and may your autumn season be filled with grace and peace.
An interesting statistic. Certainly gives pause for thought. Although, unfortunately, it’s doubtful the 75% mentioned would include the most powerful leaders and those most able to bring about meaningful change.
Daniel,
I pray the same blessing over you, friend!
Nerida,
probably true!
Thank you for stopping by
